Superferromagnetism

Superferromagnetism

Superferromagnetism is the magnetism of an ensemble of magnetically interacting super-moment-bearing material particles that would be superparamagnetic if they were not interacting. [ D.G. Rancourt. Magnetism of Earth, planetary, and environmental nanoparticles. In: Nanoparticles and the Environment, J.F. Banfield and A. Navrotsky (editors), "Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry" 44 (2001) 217-292 (Chapter 7).] Nanoparticles of iron oxides, such as ferrihydrite (nominally FeOOH), often cluster and interact magnetically. These interactions change the magnetic behaviours of the nanoparticles (both above and below their blocking temperatures) and lead to an ordered low-temperature phase with non-randomly oriented particle super-moments.
